One of the most important issues in comparative politics is the
relationship between the state and society and the implications of
different relationships for long-term social and economic
development. Exploring the contribution states can make to
overcoming collective action problems and creating collective goods
favourable to social, economic, and political development, the
contributors to this significant volume examine how state-society
relations as well as features of state structure shape the
conditions under which states seek to advance development and the
conditions that make success more or less likely. Particular focus
is given to bureaucratic oversight, market functioning, and the
assertion of democratic demands discipline state actions and
contribute to state effectiveness. These propositions and the
social mechanisms underlying them are examined in comparative
historical and cross-national statistical analyses. The conclusion
will also evaluate the results for current policy concerns.
